4 Foot Trencher Skid Steer Attachment | Eterra

The Eterra 4 Foot Trencher for skid steers is ideal for constructing long industrial or personal property trenches in any soil conditions. The gear box is the same proven gear box you will find in the famously popular Eterra Auger Attachments, and customers are consistently impressive with the power (see reviews). A manual side shift system is included to allow you to trench alongside buildings and fences – skid steer operators who do this kind of work know the importance of this feature.

The planetary gear drive greatly increases torque, which is essential to trenching in hard rocky or frozen ground (We put a trench through a gravel driveway with ease – see photos). The unit is a simple design, and very self protected from the dirt and dust you’re going to be displacing, meaning low maintenance costs. The teeth are another key component of this attachment. Over years of trial and error, Eterra discovered that a 70/30 ratio of Tungsten Cutter Teeth to Dirt Teeth is optimal. The aggressive cutter teeth allow you to cut through those tough conditions you’re likely to encounter, and the dirt teeth provide excellent clearing of the trench. The 18″ discharge auger and crumber bar do a great job of clearing the trench, leaving a cleaner trench than any other attachment we’ve seen. An Adjustable Skid shoe ensures consistent depth. You set the shoe to your desired depth and when the shoe rests flat on the ground, you can be sure you’re at that depth.

So remember – High Torque, Cutter/Digging Teeth, and low maintenance costs are what you want in a trencher. Eterra just makes it look awesome as a bonus.
